Very interesting, I thought.
This speech also correlates with the material in my Criminal Justice class really well.
This speech was exactly what I expected when discussing the topic of stress in the area of law enforcement. Stress obviously plays a large role in day-to-day police life and I thought that the speech made that fact very clear. It also argues that all police deal with certain levels and types of stress. Some police deal with cynicism, while others have family issues. Policemen need to maintain a good balance between life at home and life on the job to reduce these levels of stress. The speech offers a solution to the problems that policemen face: admittance of a problem and acceptance of help.
I think the points that were made are very valid. The information about law enforcement that I have learned so far supports this speech. My Criminal Justice class teaches us that these kinds of stress do really occur and that these are major problems in the field of law enforcement.
I also think that the points Mr. Dan Goldfarb makes in his speech are valid because he is a Police Psychologist. He studies criminal justice and law enforcement as a daily job. Therefore, before he makes a speech, he probably wants to make sure his facts are straight.
